The Terminator by D & D Marine Enterprises Inc. is the next generation of protein skimmers. This unit has maintained our high standard of fabrication using only the highest grade materials. The Terminator has also continued with our signature design concentrator top. The angular concentrator top was introduced into the market over fifteen years ago by D & D Marine Enterprises. The tremendous efficiency of the angular concentrator gives unparalleled control over foam consistency. The concentrator top is removed by simply spinning off the retaining ring which contains an ??œo??? ring seal, this ensures bind free easy operation with no need for thread seals.
For several years now the market has demanded venturi injection as opposed to airstone injection. The one disadvantage to venturis has been the reduction of contact time. This is due to the need to push water through the venturi at a high rate. Now with the introduction of the Terminator and a closed loop venturi we have total control over both the venturi pressure and process water contact time.
The unit needs only a Magdrive model 7 to drive the venturi. The method of introducing process water from the fish tank can be handled in a variety of methods. Water can be siphoned directly from the top of the tank, or it may be brought up from a sump using a small powerhead (remember this little pump does not need to drive the venturi. The Terminator also incorporates a self leveling adjustment design which can be hard piped if desired. The outlet connection can be turned to face any direction, it can also be raised or lowered to meet the needs of almost any installation. No matter what happens, your adjustments will remain stable. The Terminator unlike many skimmers can be fully disassembled for total cleaning including the inner core.
